Work introduction
Settings of poems if William Carlos Williams.
Flowers By The Sea
When over the flowery, sharp pasture's
edge, unseen, the salt ocean
lifts its form—chicory and daisies
tied, released, seem hardly flowers alone
but color and the movement—or the shape
perhaps—of restlessness, whereas
the sea is circled and sways
peacefully upon its plantlike stem
The Bird's Companion
As love
that is
each day upon the twig
which may die
So springs your love
fresh up
lusty for the sun
the bird's companion—
Between Walls
the back wings
of the
hospital where
nothing
will grow lie
cinders
In which shine
the broken
pieces of a green
bottle
The Locust Tree in Flower
Among
of
green
stiff
old
bright
broken
branch
come
white
sweet
May
again
